The Behringer D2 Podcast Pro is Designed for Content Creators
A new Dynamic USB Mic for creators...
When you need an affordable solution for content creation, the Behringer D2 Podcast Pro provides all the essential features to get started.
Already, Behringer has quite a range of USB mics available, but the D2 has certainly been created specifically with podcasting, streaming, and video content in mind.
Behringer D2 Podcast Pro
Although it’s a creator-focused mic, the D2 is versatile enough to use in any recording situation. For starters, the USB port allows up to 24-bit 96 kHz recording, and there is an XLR output to use it as a traditional analogue microphone.
Its pickup pattern has been designed with more directionality, so as to avoid any unwanted reflectivity from less-than-ideal recording environments.
As a dynamic microphone, it naturally captures in a more localized vicinity than the average condenser mic but be aware that dynamics are generally low-output devices.
This means that the built-in preamp and interface will provide the optimal gain level for USB connectivity, but you might need a preamp when using the XLR output to get the best possible signal-to-noise ratio.
The 30mm diaphragm will capture speech or vocals nicely, but you can also try it out on amp cabinets or even hand-held percussion instruments.
Apart from the included desktop tripod, you also get a shockmount and a windshield, so you’re well-equipped for a wide range of applications and recording situations.
The onboard interface also provides a microphone mute button, a level indicator, volume control, headphones output, and direct monitoring capabilities.
Overall, the D2 looks like a great option if you’re getting into the content creation game for the first time, especially if you’re a musician who can harness some of its recording benefits too.
